Season 22

You can watch Young Hearts (Malhação, 1995) Season 22 online on iFILM — 280 episodes of Brazilian teen drama from 2014. This run moves to an arts school and a muay thai gym, and for once the whole season hangs on a single love story.

At its heart are Duca, who wants to become a muay thai champion, and Bianca, who dreams of acting the way her late mother once did. Their romance lights the fuse. Karina — Bianca's sister and Duca's own student in the ring — falls for him too, and once she learns the two are together, she turns on her own sister. Around that triangle the season works through grown-up firsts, from Bianca's first time to the question of who each of them wants to be.

It's a heavier, more plot-driven run than the usual daily novela: sport, jealousy and the stage all tangle into one knot. Good for viewers who like long first-love stories and don't mind streaming all episodes in order. Watch Young Hearts Season 22 online on iFILM.
